AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a circuit board that reduces skew (when signals distort due to bending) and minimizes the deterioration of differential to common-mode conversion. By preventing electrical interaction between differential traces at bending regions, and arranging a ground conductor portion between inner and outer trace portions, differential signals are transmitted as quasi-single ended signals. This minimizes deterioration of differential to common-mode conversion and reduces skew occurrence. The circuit board of the present invention achieves both reduction of skew occurrence and minimization of deterioration of differential to common-mode conversion.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, the cable harness having this structure is unfavorable.
Accordingly, skew occurs between a differential signal pair which passes through the modified differential traces, and thereby a transmission error occurs.
However, the remodeled shape of the inner trace distorts differential signals to cause unnecessary mode conversion where some of differential-mode signals are converted to common-mode signals.
Specifically, the remodeled differential traces have a drawback to cause differential to common-mode conversion.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]As shown in FIG. 1, a cable harness 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a connector assembly 700 and a cable 600. The cable 600 functions as a second connecting object 600. Although the cable 600 shown in FIG. 1 is simply illustrated as a plurality of insulated single wires, an actual cable 600 is a multi-conductor cable. Specifically, the actual cable 600 comprises a plurality of insulated single wires, which are bundled together, and an outer cover covering the bundled insulated single wires.

[0023]As shown in FIG. 1, the connector assembly 700 of the present embodiment comprises a connector 500 and a circuit board 100. The connector 500 functions as a first connecting object 500.

[0024]Referring to FIG. 1, the connector 500 of the present embodiment is mateable with a mating connector (not shown) along a mating direction. In the present embodiment, the mating direction is an X-direction. As shown in FIG. 1, the connector 500 of the present embodim...

Abstract

A circuit board comprises at least a first wiring layer, a second wiring layer and a via. The first wiring layer is formed with a pair of first ends, a pair of second ends, a coupling portion, a pair of first trace portions and a pair of second trace portions. The coupling portion has a pair of first coupling points, a pair of second coupling points, an inner trace portion, an outer trace portion and a ground conductor portion. The inner trace portion has a length equal to a length of the outer trace portion. The ground conductor portion is arranged between the inner trace portion and the outer trace portion. The second wiring layer is formed with a ground pattern. The ground conductor portion is connected with the ground pattern through the via.
